Heavy showers turned into heavy rain in the morning so keeping us well indoors. Jason M and Nigel G (Exmoor) had both made the trip down so after a bit of chit chat and cup of tea they headed off for some sightseeing as the forecast was for the showers (rain) to clear early afternoon.
Sure enough they did and with a brisk NW coming in we opted for some hill work at Perran rather than the tow field where it would be wet and windy.
Conditions were good on arrival and whilst the guys rigged the Stubby I popped the Tandem together. First off was Jason who came up for a Tandem flight on the hangy and just loved every minute of it whilst asking a never ending stream of questions!
Next up was Joe (Ireland) who was down on holiday with his Dad John who had flown hangies in the very early days, quite a character i have to say. Joe had a great time and was cool as a cucumber as we played with the sea thermals which were out in force.
back on the ground and with the wind easing we concentrated on some tethering with Nigel G, Jason M and Nigel W (St Just) on the stubby and they all adapted to it well. Then it was time to try out the new Falcon 3 on the tethers and what a joy she is getting the Big Thumbs up from the guys.
Whilst derigging took place i sneaked in a final tandem flight with SaraW sharing the sky with Carez on his hanger until the wind veered quickly to the north making the lift drop and it time to slip back in on top.
A fun afternoon as it turned out :)
